Lyrics

Children play with matches start a fire Children play with matches start a fire Don't ever do what you're told The old are just old Children play with matches start a fire Children play with fire, tend a blaze Children play with fire, tend a blaze You know where he keeps his drinks And lots of poisons under the sink Children play with fire, tend a blaze [Chorus] The world is dry and brittle and dead It'll go up in a flash If we mix it all together Oh what a colorful blast! Only shout when spoken to Curse your way through church and school And mess around with father's power tools Only shout when spoken to Curse your way through church and school And mess around with father's power tools Children play beyond the "Keep Out" signs Children play beyond the "Keep Out" signs And if the owners send you home It's bottles, rocks, and stones Children play beyond the "Keep Out" signs [Chorus] The world is dry and brittle and dead It'll go up in a flash If we mix it all together Oh what a colorful blast! Only shout when spoken to Curse your way through church and school And mess around with father's power tools Only shout when spoken to Curse your way through church and school And mess around with father's power tools Children lead us to the lake of fire (fire!) Children lead us to the lake of fire (fire!) And as we drive down into the flames Maybe I'll let you hold the reigns Children lead us to the lake of fire Children play with matches, start a fire Children play with matches, start a fire Just a little gasoline And watch the people scream Oh, Children play with matches Children play with matches Children play with matches start a fire
